WCF show other points -- VovanA ( talk) 12:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Yes, the reason for this is that whoever did the wikipedia page missed the new rule for tie breaking for purposes of ranking. At the bottom of the link that you list, there is a detailed explanation. So, for example, previously Australia, Germany, and the USA would have each received 6 points (2008 mens), now there is a 5, 6, and 7 awarded, no ties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.226.175.30 ( talk) 18:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Upon Japan's failure to advance from the 2008 PCC to 2009 Worlds, I listed SUI and USA teams as qualifiers for the 2010 Winter Olympics. A different user later deleted SUI and USA from the list.
Here was my reasoning for including them: SUI in 4th place with 17.5 points would have to be caught by 7 teams to miss the Olympics. With Japan no longer a possibility of being one of the seven teams, Switzerland qualified for the Olympics. USA in 5th place with 15 points, would have to be caught by 6 teams in order to miss the Olympics. With Japan no longer a possibility of being one of the six, and assuming the USA team will earn a minimum of one point at the 2009 Worlds (since there is no challenger), USA qualified for the Olympics.

Of course this is all a moot point now that the Czech Republic is out of Olympic contention.
I see that there is a template in the article that links to separate (as yet uncreated) pages for "Men's Competition" and "Women's Competition", and I was just wondering whether that's really necessary, because it seems redundant to me. Previous Olympic competitions have had everything on one page. Unless the general feeling is that it's too much information to place on one page, shouldn't the games and results go onto the main page instead of completely off by themselves? A slight reorganization of the information presented could make it work. I didn't want to create extra articles that might not really be necessary. Budd2049 ( talk) 01:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi!
On the World Curling Federation website. The Skip(2nd) of Switzerland is Markus Eggler and Ralph Stöckli is the Fourth. Bye -- Simy69 ( talk) 10:08, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
I checked the teams against http://www.worldcurling.org/teams-for-vancouver-2010 and found some slight inconsistencies.
Women: www.worldcurling.org has Dupont/Dupont of Denmark and Robillard/Wagner of Germany respectively swapped in their positions. Since http://www.dif.dk/OL2010/Forside/Atleter/Det%20danske%20hold.aspx has the Duponts as currently listed (Madeleine 4, Denise 3) and I could not find useful information about the German lineup I did not touch it for now.
Regarding Anna Svärd (listed as Anna La Moine at www.worldcurling.org) I left a note (name change with somewhat unclear outcome) on the Svärd talk page.
Men: www.worldcurling.org has Zang as lead and Li as alternate. Checking other sources failed, for the lack of any Chinese skills on my side. :) 89.50.4.102 ( talk) 04:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
The blue box at the top of the page is distorting the box with the Mens' Teams (compare the Men's chart to the Women's). I've tried three times to edit the top of the page so that the chart wouldn't interfere with the Team charts, but my efforts haven't been successful so far. Does anyone know where the small blue box can be placed so that it doesn't negatively affect the layout of the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SargentIV ( talk • contribs) 05:24, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

This seems noteworthy, but it's nowhere in Wikipedia right not as far as I can tell.
